Limited data exist on assessing the risk of active tuberculosis (TB) in immunocompromised individuals during screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).
To assess the risk of progression to active TB for indeterminate interferon-γ release assays (IGRA) results in immunocompromised individuals during screening for LTBI.
PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched without start date or language restrictions on 18 April 2023.
Cohort study or randomized controlled trials that investigated the risk of progression to active TB for indeterminate IGRA during LTBI screening.
Immunocompromised individuals. TEST: IGRA (T-SPOT.TB and QuantiFERON).
None.
A modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
Fixed effects meta-analysis was used to obtain two pooled risk ratios (RRs). RR-ip represented disease progression rate in untreated individuals with indeterminate IGRA versus positive IGRA. RR-in represented disease progression rate in untreated individuals with indeterminate IGRA versus negative IGRA.
Among the 5102 identified studies, 28 (14 792 immunocompromised individuals) were included. The pooled RR-ip and RR-in for cumulative incidence were 0.51 (95% CI, 0.32-0.82; I = 0%) and 2.94 (95% CI, 1.78-4.85; I = 0%), respectively. In addition, 11 studies reporting person-year data were included to verify the reliability of cumulative incidence results. The pooled RR-ip and RR-in for person-year incidence were 0.40 (95% CI, 0.19-0.82; I = 13%) and 2.67 (95% CI, 1.24-5.79; I = 23%), respectively.
Indeterminate IGRA results in immunocompromised individuals may represent an intermediate risk of progression to active TB, with half the risk for positive results and three times for negative results. Proper follow-up and management of patients with indeterminate results are crucial for mitigating progression risk and improving patient outcomes.
在潜伏性结核感染(LTBI)筛查中,免疫功能低下个体的活动性结核(TB)风险评估数据有限。
评估 LTBI 筛查中不确定的干扰素-γ释放试验(IGRA)结果的免疫功能低下个体发生活动性 TB 的进展风险。
2023 年 4 月 18 日,无起始日期和语言限制,在 PubMed、Embase、Web of Science 和 Cochrane 图书馆中进行了检索。
调查 LTBI 筛查中不确定的 IGRA 期间发生活动性 TB 进展风险的队列研究或随机对照试验。
免疫功能低下个体。
IGRA(T-SPOT.TB 和 QuantiFERON)。
无。
纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表的改良版。
采用固定效应荟萃分析获得两个合并风险比(RR)。RR-ip 代表未经治疗的不确定 IGRA 个体与阳性 IGRA 个体的疾病进展率。RR-in 代表未经治疗的不确定 IGRA 个体与阴性 IGRA 个体的疾病进展率。
在 5102 项确定的研究中,纳入了 28 项研究(14792 名免疫功能低下个体)。累积发生率的合并 RR-ip 和 RR-in 分别为 0.51(95%CI,0.32-0.82;I=0%)和 2.94(95%CI,1.78-4.85;I=0%)。此外,纳入了 11 项报告人年数据的研究,以验证累积发生率结果的可靠性。人年发生率的合并 RR-ip 和 RR-in 分别为 0.40(95%CI,0.19-0.82;I=13%)和 2.67(95%CI,1.24-5.79;I=23%)。
免疫功能低下个体不确定的 IGRA 结果可能代表向活动性 TB 进展的中等风险,阳性结果的风险减半,阴性结果的风险增加三倍。对不确定结果患者进行适当的随访和管理对于降低进展风险和改善患者结局至关重要。
